Answer:

I teach Rabbit Agility and either the comfort harness or H harness will both work. I prefer the H harnesses (Lupine makes them in 2 sizes and they are listed in the cat section). The important thing is that the point where the lead connects does not pull on their neck, but is located on their back. The comfort harness will attach under the rabbit where the H harness will connect on top of the rabbit. Your choice will come down to personal preference. I find that connecting the harness above the rabbit is easiest for me and I don't need to deal with cleaning fur out of the velcro (H harness does not use velcro). I have a 12lb Californian and the larger size H harness fits her well and the size is much more adjustable than a comfort harness. A friend has a standard Rex, but Bear prefers to travel in her Radio Flyer wagon vs having to walk.

Actually, a harness of any type is very dangerous for a rabbit. Their skeletal system is much more fragile than their muscular system and their bones break easily. Better to set-up an indoor exercise area for them, i.e using x-pens or a bunny proofed room and let them exercise indoors!

Thank you for your question. I asked our Small Pet merchandisers what they would suggest and they pointed me to the comfort harness. It is sized not by weight but by girth and neck size, so I cannot tell you for certain but perhaps you could check it out with your pet's measurements.

I have used to feed my 5 rabbits with the Oxbow Essential, recently have found there is a new range under oxbow which is the Natural Science. Appreciate if you could advise me which range of the nutritional level is more ideal for a rabbit? Looking forward to receive your kind advice. Thank you.
